Walsall bus wrecked in fire drama as flames leap out from engine
A bus was gutted when it caught fire on Saturday lunchtime resulting in the closure of a busy dual carriageway.
Firefighters arrived at the scene near The Crown public house on the A5 in Brownhills at about 12.30pm to find the National Express West Midlands service well alight.
No-one was hurt when the engine caught fire outside homes near the Rising Sun Island and Wilkin Road.
Photos from a witness show flames leaping out of the back of the bus as well as thick black smoke drifting above the carriageway.
